How do I create tangent forces on two pulleys instead of using ADAMS machinery?

asheshshrestha
Say I have two arms with a revolute joint in between them. At the end of two arms are two pulleys which has a belt.
 
Is it possible to create a tangent action and reaction force at each pulley (no slip) so that there is no need to create belt/chain and all complex calculations that come with it. Can it be modeled without using ADAMS machinery?

    Sorry for super late reply. The model that you linked works but I am super confused on how the model was created and have lots of questions. I have done few basic tutorials as I am just starting out but the things done here (looking at the code) made me puzzle. I am working on ADAMs/view.

    1. How does one create part with just markers and attach a outline in ADAMS/view ?
    2. In the code, i and j marker was directly assigned for joints. But when I try to create a joint, I don't see option to select for i and j marker.
    3. Both the pulleys must rotate when the rope is pulled. And the lower pulley also must move upwards. So there are two possibilities:
      1. The marker is fixed relative to the center of the pulley. It helps explain that when lower pulley center moves up, the marker also moves with it. But it doesn't explain how the contact point keeps on changing to maintain tangent.
      2. The marker is fixed to the pulley. But it doesn't explain how it doesn't rotate when pulley rotates. Can it be because pulley never rotates in code but just small circles do for visualization?
     
    It's that I am just starting out and bit overwhelmed to see the output yet not understand how it was created.
     
    Regards.
